It’s a little on the poopy side today—52 with occasional rain showers. It rained a bit yesterday and it looks to be steady over the next few days. It’s not the best weather for processions, events and everything that’s going on this week, but I’d gladly take it over a humid 100 degrees.

Yesterday I had my first class with Lorena and we’ll be meeting everyday this week at four; I think she even wants to meet Saturday, too. She has an interview with the airline Vueling next Tuesday so we’re practicing for that. She said half the interview will be in English, so she’s a bit nervous!

I’ve been trying to acquire a big box to send some clothes home in (unfortunately not everything will fit in my suitcases :/) the last couple of weeks, and in the past 18 hours I’ve acquired four! Marina brought me three last night (all different sizes) from her dad’s store and then Carmen texted me this morning and said she could take me to her husband’s family’s store to look for some (I’d been trying to arrange a meeting with her for like the past three weeks and it just happened to work out the day after Marina stopped by. But, I still went because I figured it wouldn’t hurt to see what was out there. I’m glad I went too, because I got this super ginormous one that even my huge Columbia coat can lay comfortably flat in! Although now I just have to decide if I want to ship something that big…because I’m sure I could get everything to fit in (granted things wouldn’t lay flat) one of Marina’s.

I think I’m going to wait at least another week before I send it in order to earn as much money as possible—I’m really nervous about and dreading the cost… :(

Xoxo,
